### 4/5 — fun with a few flaws

*2015-02-25*

This game is fun and easy to play but has a few flaws. The controlls can be a bit touchy and the characters often blend into the background making them hard to see but overall it's good.

### 4/5 — Fun

*2015-02-12*

Reminds me a bit of the Mario party games. Good mindless fun

### 3/5 — I like the concept...

*2015-02-11*

Knocking creatures off of a platform sumo-style is fun and the effect is satisfying, but the control scheme is a bit frustrating. Your character spins continuously until you touch and hold the screen to move forward.  While I appreciate the simplicity of it (as opposed to an infuriating virtual analog stick), getting the timing right is tricky. I also find that my character frequently turns just a little bit even after I touch the screen, making movement unpredictable.

## Version history (last 1 release)

### 1.2 — 2015-04-22

Ok we get it, the game controls were horrible for most people. Though rewarding for those who spent the necessary time mastering them, it was really hard to understand for a lot of players. So we changed completely the way the game plays. 
If you like the old control scheme you can still use it in the multiplayer mode when playing against your friends.

So, to sum up, these are the changes:
• NEW CONTROLS!!!
• Improved game balance
• bug fixes (Hey, it’s not an update if it doesn’t have bug fixes)
